Overview
- Peachy, 27, has been treated and returned to the Flamingo Wildlife Habitat, where the veterinarian says he is stable and expected to make a full recovery.
- In court Monday, Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia warned there will be no second chances for any violations while on release; Fairbarn is on high-level electronic monitoring with bail set at $12,000 and a next hearing on May 6.
- Surveillance footage shows a flamingo taken around 5 a.m. and another at 5:07 a.m., and cellphone videos depict choking in a hotel room as the suspect laughs and says, “I’m taking it home.”
- Fairbarn faces four felony counts, told police he was drunk, and claimed he tried to fix a wing, but the report says he ruptured a blood supply and severely injured a protected species.
- Caesars Entertainment says it is cooperating with authorities, pursuing charges, and keeping the flock under veterinary and animal care as recovery continues.
